No DB9 port for console cable

[rdurant]

Hello all...

My laptop does not have a DB9 port for the console cable, it only has a DB15 port (at least that is what i think it is).

Is this port usable or am I burned in terms of console connection?

Or, is there any other means of using the console cable?

Ryan.
